What is Restylane® Lyft (Perlane®) made of and how does it work?
Hyaluronic acid, the main ingredient in Perlane®, is a substance naturally found in the body that provides fullness and volume to the skin. Hyaluronic acid is an elastic chemical and can easily adjust and mold to the facial contours. With age however, your body’s natural stores become depleted, resulting in wrinkles and other deep lines. Restylane® Lyft (Perlane®) helps counter-act this depletion by augmenting your body’s natural supply.
Who are the best candidates for treatment with Restylane® Lyft (Perlane®)?
Restylane® Lyft (Perlane®) is particularly effective in treating deep wrinkles and lines because it contains a greater ratio of hyaluronic acid than other similar dermal fillers such as Restylane. Restylane® Lyft (Perlane®) is also highly effective in treating fine lines and other minor depressions, as well as reducing the unsightly appearance of acne scars.Individual results may vary.
